spring is here....?

on my beautiful walk home today, i was listening to david crowder on my discman (yes, i'm so old-fashioned, i listen to a discman), and the warm sun was smiling down on my face, and i was walking through green grass and dead leaves and mud puddles and around remnants of snow in the shadowy places, i could for a moment pretend that it was spring (and forget that -40 is just around the corner).
and as i walked and sang, i passed an extraordinarily large amount of feathers from the canada geese that have long since moved south (since they have not forgotten that -40 is just around the corner). this reminded me of a time not too long ago when i was walking to school and came across an extraordinarily large amount of feathers. and i kept walking. and there were more feathers. and then a lump covered in feathers, which i presumed to be a chunk of goose flesh. and then more feathers. and then a leg. yes, the whole, ugly, black, scaly-looking leg of a canada goose. what a fight that would have been to watch, between that fiesty goose and the dog or fox or whatever it was that wanted it for dinner. ha.... wish i was there....
